was that a poor choice in words on the president's part as governor romney is saying? it sounds like he's downplaying thousands of deaths in syria, the killing of our ambassador and three others? >> i think that's the risk that comes with this president's extraordinarily low blood pressure. he's a very cool customer. and there's a lot of good in that, though. you don't want a president talking about international crises who looks like a hothead or goes off half-cocked. part of why governor romney looked bad responding to the tragedy in benghazi, he seemed too political and too opportunistic. it could be here that the president was a little too cool. i don't think in his defense for a minute he would say that the murder of an ambassador and other american personnel, much less all the other folks who have died in that region, is just a bump in the road. i think what he's trying to do is show everybody that we're on this, the united states is doing well and you know, i think that's a kind of typical no drama obama response. >> alex, is that what it is, the cool head of th
